I uploaded this video to my second channel at the same time, where subtitle generation actually works, then copied the subtitles from that upload onto this channel, and deleted the video on the other channel. That's what I had to do. Don't know why subtitles don't generate on this channel.

thank you for going through that!@@matthiaswandel

After reading your comment, there’s always the point that you usually need more than one clamp to do a job like glueing edge pieces on. So buying, say four or five factory made clamps, it is very expensive over homemade clamps that can provide enough clamping force to get the job done. How much force is actually needed to glue on edge pieces and what other uses can you use a clamp like that for? I would use the homemade clamps and use the money saved to buy more of a type that you would use more often.

@@Hoaxer51 Sure, but don't forget that the time invested in designing, tweaking, and building each clamp has a price too. I remember Marius gave an estimate of the amount of hours that he took to build the clamps but I don't remember the exact amount (but I believe it was several tens of hours), and that is without considering the designing phase and the tools required. Overall, I would say that if you add the overhead costs to each clamp, you wouldn't be that much far off the price of the store unit. Sure, one would need to have proper data to tell for sure, but I would be surprised if that were not the correct outcome. Matthias should have a "DIY or buy" series to analyze these things, as other youtubers like GreatScott have.

@@PayneMaximus, It seems that most DIY’s don’t really consider time when they think about the costs of their products, maybe it’s the enjoyment of making something yourself. It’s also where they can really save money on the project, but you are right, time is money. I really like your idea about doing a cost difference between buying and building your own, and using with your time against without your time. I’m sure that building something as a one-off would be much more expensive than making, say ten pieces, so maybe include something like that into the equation.

@@Hoaxer51 Sure, DIYers clearly enjoy the process so it's understandable that such time would not be factored in. However, there is always the possibility of doing "something else" that you enjoy or even working on something that would yield you money (maybe your job pays you $15 or more per hour). To be fair, I believe such cost should be taken into account always. I think having a head-to-head comparison between DIY and retail products would be an interesting addition, especially since Matthias has spent so much time already creating his own projects and tools.

​@@PayneMaximus OK if your time being paid for, your point is valid, but if like me I am retired so my time needs some activity to keep me occupied and moving to stay healthy. So if you find wood working enjoyable then making edge clamps may pay dividends in more ways then money.

I was going to say the same thing. It's the same stuff they use in high performance car bushings. I work with it in it's raw form all day long. Nasty stuff, but it sticks like crazy to things, and it's MUCH tougher than rubber.

could also be uhmw or delrin

@@nh18343 you wouldn't want to use uhmw plastic for that purpose. It is way too slippery for a grabbing use. Polyurethane has the grip you need. Uhmw is used where you want things to slip, like on a router table or table saw fence.

Part of it is psychological: tape might be more than enough for edge banding, but I’ll never fully trust it.

yeah all of this is way overkill.

Leonardo da Vinci didn't know about involute gear teeth. He used pegs, which worked, at the cost of higher friction, backlash, and wear.

@@justfellover peg gears were very strong, and useful for water wheels etc, but way before Leonardo. Look at the Antikythera mechanism, they had bronze gearing (not involute, but still toothed) in the 1st to 2nd century BC.

Stay safe? Is he in a dangerous place?

@@pompus9068 We all are, dude. This world is mad lately...

@@MCsCreations Word

@@MCsCreations I completely agree with you. I hope you stay safe too.

@@skippylippy547 Thank you! The same to you! 🖖😊

I've used neoprene for some other grippy type things (low force though), I wondered through the whole of this whether it would work better here.

would actually be handy from time to time!

I suspect at least moderately longer reach and slightly wider frame would actually be a better size for any edge clamp - how often are you trying to use that sort of clamp on something less than say 10cm wide? I'd suggest almost never, and if it ever did come up you can probably still use a 'long-reach' one that is meant to clamp on longer faces - those cams can probably just hook over the back edge easy enough, or an extra block at the screw face is simple enough to sort out from the offcuts pile the project probably generated. I don't however think there is much cause for going that much bigger, I just can't think of a use case where the fixed width of the U part will not end up too narrow to actually go over your workpiece first, yet you actually want an edge clamp. Seems like long before you get a 30cm long one you are at the point you just want a sash clamp...

I've found liquid nails gets brittle after a while and is not suitable for anything. EDIT: I'm in Sydney. For US readers. Sydney has very similar to Los Angeles climate, so it wasn't getting brittle from being cold.

@@SauronsEye it has been successful and incredibly strong for some projects, but I will rarely ever use it again if at all. I've glued objects that were given days to dry in ideal conditions and had them pop apart from mild pressure or movement. I think because I watered it down in a bottle for a wood glue, it attained good penetration on those projects and has held incredibly well, otherwise, used pure it would have failed.

generally, rubber ribs help slippage by moving liquid away from the contact. Or the ribs can flex and lock into the other material. In a dry scenario, on flat surfaces, I don't think they would help much.

Keep in mind that you do not want the gripping surface to prolong the failure of a material, even for a moment. Ribbed gripper gloves stretch and obscure what is actually happening to the material when the pressure is applied. You want the grip to be secure and brittle, as much as that sounds contradictory. You want the grip to perfectly fail when the material does - having such a grip reduces how many variables you have to account for and can make the test more definitive. If you are testing for how a material fails, then you want to only test the material and NOT your harness. It's hard to do right, but doing so tends to give accurate results. Great suggestion though. I like the way you think. There are so many things we can use to grip other things, and this is not a bad start. There has to be other materials like ribbed gripper gloves that are not nearly as elastic. They may be similar to what was shown in the test, but every 1% matters.

@@Snyper20 I actually did think about this and came to the conclusion (probably wrongly so, but...) that the contact cement, once dried, would stiffen the glove gripper material almost to the point of being, as you say, brittle, yet stable. Actually, now that I think about it, what about eliminating the rubber glove material and just use some sort of epoxy or other type of liquid adhesive substance that would dry to the point of creating a stable, tacky surface? I don't think it would be strong enough but, what made me think of this, was having had (in my youth) melted hot glue sticks into a small, somewhat tall (~8") container and then dipping tool handles into the hot glue and letting it cool. Basically I just created my own rubber tool handle coatings at about half (or less) the cost of getting the Dip, which has a tendency to dry out, in the bottle it comes in, long before it's all used up. At least, it did, for me, anyway. Maybe I was using it wrong?🤪🤣 Even so, the hot glue method was still cheaper.

There is probably a rubber or material that is better suited for the jaws of the clamp and will work better, but I doubt that the gripper glove material is rated for 400kg of force. Maybe if you had gorilla hands they'd make gloves that way!!

he wanted them to take up less space side by side in a drawer

@@matthiaswandel Makes sense. Thanks for the answer!

@@matthiaswandel It would be interesting to make a plywood frame the same size and see how it compares to the metal one.

It would be nice if it clamped the bottom of the edge upward to the table. Perhaps a clever reshaping of one of the cams would be enough to accomplish this. It wouldn't need to clamp hard enough in that direction to prevent movement. That part is already taken care of. Just enough to close the gap.

its much stiffer than the therapy bands

@@matthiaswandel The Bessey material looks like that used for commercial bandsaw tires.

It’s polyurethane

@@gorinator Bingo... similar to skateboard wheels.

I believe Marius mentioned in his video that it appeared to be molded directly onto the aluminum cam part.
